The Best Protein Pancakes


  • Author: Pinch of Yum
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6-9 pancakes 1x

Description

The Best Protein Pancakes! These are super easy with no refined grains or refined sugar. Just oats, banana, and eggs!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of cinnamon
  • 12 scoops protein powder (about 1/4 cup, or 29 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal

Instructions

  1. Run everything through the blender on medium low speed until very well mixed.
  2. Heat a nonstick griddle to medium high heat. Add batter in small circles – about 1/4 cup per pancake. Sprinkle with blueberries or chocolate chips if you want. When the edges start to look dry (2-3 minutes), flip and cook another minute or two on the other side.
  3. Top with anything you like! I like syrup and peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Equipment

Notes

Update 7/12/22: Based on reader feedback and additional testing, we’ve reduced the amount of baking powder to 1 teaspoon (previously 4 teaspoons).

If the pancakes are falling apart, you may need to turn the heat up. We consistently get pancakes that hold and flip when the heat is at a high enough level and when we use a nonstick pan. You can also add more or less flax to get the consistency just right for you! 

This nutrition label is for 1 out of 9 total protein pancakes and it does NOT include the protein powder as the nutrition facts for those vary by product.
